Share or unshare your calendar

You can share the main calendar for your account, or another calendar you created.

On your computer, open Google Calendar. You can't share calendars from the Google Calendar app.

On the left, find the "My calendars" section. You might need to click it to expand it.

Hover over the calendar you want to share, click More Settings and sharing.

To share with individuals: Under "Share with specific people," the email address of the person you want to share with.

To change wider sharing settings: Under "Access permissions," choose an option in the drop-down menu. Learn more about these options below.

If someone isn't already added, click Add people.

Click Send.

If you shared your calendar with an individual email address, they'll see your calendar in their "Other calendars" list. If you shared your calendar with an email group , they'll see the calendar in their "Other calendars" list once they click on the link in the email invitation from Google Calendar.

Important: To get your new calendar to show up on your Android phone or tablet, you'll need to turn on sync for that calendar.

When you share your calendar with a group, it isn't automatically added to their calendar list. Instead, they'll need to click the link in the email they got to add the calendar to their list.

Use Google Groups

If you want to share a calendar with a large group of people, you can add a Google Group. The calendar sharing settings will automatically adjust to any changes in the group's membership over time. Learn more about Google Groups.

Follow the directions in one of the sections above about how to share.

Control what others can see

Note: If you use Google Calendar through your work, school, or other organization, you might not see all these sharing options if your admin turned them off.

When you share your calendar with someone, you can decide how they see your events and whether they can also make changes like adding or editing events.

Here's what people can do with each sharing option:

Make changes AND manage sharing

Change sharing settings

Add and edit events

See details for all events, including private ones

See the time zone setting for the calendar

Permanently delete the calendar

Restore or permanently delete events from the calendar's Trash

Make changes to events

Add and edit events

See the time zone setting for the calendar

See when your calendar is booked and when it has free time, but not the names or other details of your events.

Note: Events from Gmail that have the "Only me" visibility setting aren't visible to anyone you've shared your calendar with, even people with "Make changes" access, unless you change the sharing settings for the event or the default setting for events from Gmail.
